I finally broke down and called my buddy's cell phone, and........HE ANSWERED!!!

He has just boarded a bus, in route back to Nebraska from Ft. Leonard Wood, Missouri. Said his wife had mailed him his cell phone in Iraq a couple of weeks ago, and he had just turned it on a few minutes before I called.

I guess his family was worried sick last night until they heard from him. Seems there was a lot of confusion over "Ft. Hood" vs. "Ft. Leonard Wood". They really do sound alike and fear and doubt set in quickly as the news broke yesterday.

Thanks to all who sent prayers and positive vibes his way. Thank God he is alive and well. My heart goes out to the families who won't be getting their soldiers back after yesterday's tragedy. Damn shame heroes had to fall in that manner.
